This is just a stupid statement. The people alive in Russia today had nothing to do with the killing or defending of the Tsar and his Family. The a**hat communist did. Now what they should be feeling is that they will resist any attempt(and it is happening as we speak here)to reinstate communism into Russia and to become as free as they possibly can. Goes for us in the USA also. Look at history, this is what Obama and the other Democrats want for us, thuggery, murder, and slavery.
Agreed...sadly, many still give credence to the concept of people being responsible for the sins of their fathers.
This Archbishop may not have considered his words carefully enough during this news conference, being unused to such worldwide publicity, or it may indeed reflect his true perspective. After all, the Left here in the USA continues to hold present-day living Americans personally responsible for the sins of slavery as well as a host of other ancient worldwide ills that we had absolutely nothing to do with. As we've seen with the Archbishop of Canterbury, holding that particular office does not in and of itself prove that the officeholder is not insane.
